Chapter 284 - Let Me Help You
As soon as the three inner cores appeared, Zhong Yue instantly felt that the dimension around him was locked, his body and even his Yuan Shen couldn't even move as they were suppressed by invisible power!
Three inner cores? How did he do that?
Zhong Yue was shocked as the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's innate talent; they were born with three heads, allowing them to possess a psyche capacity and burst power that is three times higher than the other races. With the addition of their incredibly strong body, they thrived as one of the strongest and most prosperous celestial races in the entire West Barren.
However, three inner cores were just way too much.
Average Qi Practitioners possessed only one inner core, and there’s no way for them to obtain another one, not even strong races like the Xiao Mang Celestial Race.
Besides, when Zhong Yue was chased after by the Lian Xin and Xiao Mang Celestial Race’ members at the border of Gu Xia City, he only managed to retrieve one inner core from the Xiao Mang pursuers.
Thus, it was clear that Xiao Chushan has been cultivating a type of special art!
And his inner cores had different capabilities targeting on the dimension, body and Yuan Shen respectively, which greatly amazed Zhong Yue even though Xiao Chushan was his enemy.
Such strong inner cores….
Zhong Yue tried moving his body, only to realize that he couldn't move at all. To add salt to the wound, as the rays of the inner cores pulsed, the pressure Zhong Yue needed to bear mounted with each pulse!
Qiu Jin'er who realized the dire situation they were in quickly shouted, "Xiao Chushan, you gave your word that you will not use your inner core! Shame on you! My senior martial brother fought you bare handed, but you used your soul weapons and now your inner cores? Have you no honor?"
Xiao Chushan’s face flustered and he smirked as he walked towards Zhong Yue with his spear in his hand while ignoring Qiu Jin’er.
Ever since Zhong Yue’s slap landed on him like a huge moving mountain ramming into him during the first clash, he knew that he would be no match for Zhong Yue if he did not use his inner cores.
For he knew that he would be on the same level as an Atman Body level Qi Practitioner if he did not use his inner cores, which Zhong Yue could easily overwhelm.
No one would be foolish to think that Zhong Yue who held the first place in the Warrior Board firmly would be weak.
"Honor or life? Of course, I will choose my life over some useless honor!"
Xiao Chushan's eyes twitched, and he suddenly took out a willow leaf, flicking it out and said with a smirk, "Resistance is futile! The triple inner cores given to me are treasures passed down from generations to generations because I was deemed worthy enough by the older generations! With the three inner cores, there would be not many that can compete with me in the level of Inner Core, not even Zuo Xiangsheng!"
The willow leaf then landed on the forehead of Zhong Yue as Xiao Chushan spoke.
As soon as the willow leaf touched Zhong Yue, he immediately felt something, some sort of unique power that was not exactly strong but strong enough to cut away the link between himself and the Lang Ya Board.
"The Lang Ya Board can revive those who were linked to it but that revival is not absolute for the Xiao Mang ancestors have found a way to wipe one's existence in this world even if he were linked to the Lang Ya Board.
Xiao Chushan held his spear up, and he said with a smile, "This leaf came from a unique tree of our Xiao Mang Celestial Race. After being bestowed with soul sealing totem carvings by the gods of my race, this leaf will be able to seal your soul in your body, and the totem carvings on the leaf will cut the link between you and the Lang Ya Board by cheating it to think that you have left the Lesser Void World. With that, you will really be dead if I kill you!"
“Not good, senior martial brother is in trouble!”
Qiu Jin'er's heart thumped, and she quickly charged forward to save Zhong Yue, unloading all of her remaining energy, unleashing the various sword styles in the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】 towards Xiao Chushan!
The【Great Boundless Sword Qi】was stronger than the Shui Zian's sword silk array formation, and even after only a short while of cultivating this art, the power of the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】was strong enough to threaten Xiao Chushan.
“I will deal with you after killing him!”
Xiao Chushan’s heads started unleashing skills that turned into shields, protecting him from the attacks of【Great Boundless Sword Qi】while he raised up his spear before stabbing towards Zhong Yue!
At the moment that decided Zhong Yue's fate, he unleashed the pure Yin and Yang Sword Qi in his eyes, slashing at two of Xiao Chushan's inner cores. This sent them flying away while cracks appeared on the surface of the two cores.
Then, Zhong Yue roared angrily as incredible power surge emerged from his body, pushing the third inner core that locked the dimension around him away as he positioned his right hand in front of his forehead.
Zhe——-
Xiao Chuwen's spear stopped right in front of Zhong Yue's forehead as Zhong Yue allowed the spear to pierce through his right hand so he could stop it altogether. Just before Xiao Chuwen pulled his spear out from Zhong Yue's hand, Zhong Yue's left hand reached out, grabbing on the spear, preventing Xiao Chuwen from pulling his spear back.
Xiao Chuwen then shouted as he was charging forward, stabbing towards Zhong Yue again and pushing Zhong Yue into the air as his three heads opened up the mouth. The three heads roared in unison as cast the 【Celestial Moon Howling Art】's 【Moon Howling】 and sent it ferociously crashing towards Zhong Yue.
As he was struck, Zhong Yue's clothes, skins, and flesh were torn apart, and he quickly released the spear before he fell onto the ground a few ten meters away from Xiao Chushan.
The rugged clothing Zhong Yue then stood up, with blood all over his body and said, “Back off, junior martial sister. I want to fight him fair and square!”
Being the pretty obedient girl towards Zhong Yue as she was, Qiu Jin'er could only stand by the side in worry and watch as Zhong Yue fought Xiao Chushan.
Zhong Yue slightly stretched his body for a bit as he stood up and his wounds recovered under his hyper regeneration, his flesh wiggled as they grew back and his skins reappeared in almost an instant! His hyper regeneration was not as strong as the immortal body of Kui Long Celestial Race. But with it, even after being inflicted with heavy wounds, his regeneration speed was much stronger than average Qi Practitioners.
He then reached out his hand to remove the willow leaf on his forehead, but to his dismay, the leaf was as if it were glued to his forehead. It then attached itself to his head and showed no signs of loosening.
On the other hand, Xiao Chushan merged his body with his Yuan Shen while he recalled his three inner cores. As they flew back towards him, a colorful light appeared on the two cracked inner cores, and they recovered completely.
Xiao Chushan then rushed towards Zhong Yue with his spear again, saying, “The willow leaf is a heritage treasure created by the gods of Xiao Mang Celestial Race, as long as it touches your forehead, you will not be able to remove it! Now, die!”
“Is that so? Then let us see if this leaf could seal all my power!”
Zhong Yue shouted, and he shapeshifted into a three-legged celestial being, flapped his wings, unleashed totem carvings that turned into six arms and with the addition of his first two arms, it had eight arms with weapons held in each arm.
“This… this is the【Monster God Ming King Art】! How did you get it?”
Xiao Chushan's heart tightened, and the divine third eye appeared on Zhong Yue's forehead, but it was not visible as it was blocked by the willow leaf which seemingly started to inflate as if there was something that kept growing, trying to push the willow leaf away.
That “something” was the powerful rays released by Zhong Yue’s divine third eye, trying to burst the willow leaf apart and the willow leaf almost fell off from his forehead!
The leaf was indeed the creation of gods, and a treasure specifically used to obfuscate the Lang Ya Board's senses. Even after being inflated by a few metres long, it did not tear apart. But as the caster of this leaf was Xiao Chushan, who was incapable of maximizing the power of the "妖willow leaf, it was only a matter of time until Zhong Yue managed to completeley extricate himself of the willow leaf's seal!
“The【Monster God Ming King Art】and the divine third eye, who are you?”
Xiao Chushan shouted and through his inner cores, he locked up the dimension around Zhong Yue and suppressed Zhong Yue's body and Yuan Shen while Xiao Chushan thrust his spear towards Zhong Yue again. The same thing then happened again, Zhong Yue launched his pure Yin and Yang Sword Qi, once again targeting Xiao Chushan's inner cores. Cracks continued to spiderweb across the cores, while Zhong Yue also increased the energy output on his divine third eye, making the willow leaf to inflate to a further extent.
Xiao Chushan roared and unleashed his power. A miniature moon manifested at the tip of his spear, augmenting the power of the spear thrust to its peak with Pure Yin Qi!
“【Moon Howling】!”
The three Pan Ao heads of his roared, launching an all-out attack; he created roars that were so strong that they were visible even to naked eyes and these soundwaves flew towards Zhong Yue ferociously!
Whatever Zhong Yue displayed back then made him felt extremely uneasy as Zhong Yue possessed skills that he was not supposed to have, and all of this made him extremely apprehensive about prolonging the battle!
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue activated his Ba Ji Slaughtering Array, parried the spear attack and he morphed into the six-eyed celestial being. He unleashed a mighty roar to counter Xiao Chushan's own roar.
The two roars clashed together and created a deafening boom. The sound receded as the exchange left behind a large crater at the epicenter of the collision.
“Long Yue!”
Xiao Chushan shouted in fear, “You are Long Yue of the East Barren!”
“It’s too late now!”
Zhong Yue's Pure Yin and Yang sword Qi circled around the two inner cores of Xiao Chushan before they shattered the two inner cores, merged together and destroyed Xiao Chushan's final core. Without his inner cores, Xiao Chushan could only fight with Zhong Yue in close quarters, but he fought with Zhong Yue at an incredibly fast pace. However, to Xiao Chushan's dismay, Xiao Chushan's every attack was parried with Zhong Yue's eight arms, and his injuries only grew more severe as Zhong Yue's vicious flurry of attacks continued to land on Xiao Chushan.
“You can’t kill me! As long as I am still linked to the Lang Ya Board, you will not be able to kill me!”
Xiao Chushan went nuts, and he suddenly pierced one of his heads with his sword while the other two heads shouted crazily, "I could still revive through the Lang Ya Board, but from now on, you will no longer know the meaning of peace since your identity will be exposed…. Hahaha!"
He then pierced his second head without hesitation as he tried to commit suicide so that he can be revived through the Lang Ya Board.
Just before he wanted to pierce his last head, Zhong Yue finally managed to remove the willow leaf from his divine eye. He reached out his arms, and grabbed the leaf before placing it on Xiao Chushan's final head!
And Xiao Chushan's spear immediately stopped in front of his head, and sweat started forming on his forehead.
"What now? Too afraid to do it? Then let me help you!" Zhong Yue humphed. He grabbed the spear, and mercilessly pressed it down on Xiao Chushan's head!
